Tumblr css help?

i’m trying to make this tumblr theme really neat because i want it to be easy to read, etc. i would like to know the code on how i could shorten a text post, then make a link to the permalink so the viewer can read all of it. i know how to make the permalink but how can i shorten up a text post?

My instinct is that CSS will not be able to help you with this…probably some scripting and HTML is in order. CSS will only change the look and feel of a page, not the function (having a short blurb that can link to the full post is a function kind of thing).

I’m not particularly familiar with Tumblr theming, so I can’t give any specific help. Do you know of any themes that have this functionality, and can you look at the code to figure out how it’s done?
